Do you love or loathe snow?

Love it for looking at and cycling and walking in when it's fresh soft snow. Hate it for driving in at all times and when it's been compacted, icy, rutted and made dangerous by vehicles.

I know regional conditions vary wildly but what I'm trying to work out now is why did basically none of the big shops open here today due to "extreme weather conditions" when there isn't actually any snow whatsoever and even at it's worst yesterday evening it looked more like someone had dropped a bag of flour rather a heavy snowfall.

Love it. Not as good as 63 now that really was good. The snow this time has been especially good, really dry and fluffy.

Loathe it. Went to Alicante to escape the winter 3 weeks ago, came back and it's worse. Go away crappy long lasting winter............

Maybe because they couldn't get any stock.

It can go away now. The novelty is wearing a bit thin.

I wonder how long it will take some old timer to tell us how much worse it was in 1963...

I would if i could remember.

I was 7 years old then and had just moved to Coventry. I have a vague recollection of snow drifts that first winter piling up to the top of a fence round the playing fields at the end of our new road. That fence was about 9 feet high.

Loved it, then hated it when my boiler broke, now I love it again.

 

[Piemaster]

Like it. But then at heart I'm 7

in' 63 I was four and all I remember is a tunnel from the front door to the road... this recent snap was fun for a day, then in got tricky for a day, then it melted, moving down south has various advantages, not much snow being one of them......

I'm looking forward to seeing the snap.

Pffff we've only had four days of snow.
Operation Snowdrop went on for weeks.
